Labor Secretary Silvestre Bello III has said that workers can expect a wage increase “within the month”. According to an article on Rappler, Bello\u00a0has instructed wage boards to closely monitor the increasing prices of basic commodities due to the impact of TRAIN law (Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion).<\/p>\n

A\u00a0minimum wage increase across the country is foreseen\u00a0to be implemented by August or September this year as well as subsidies for Filipino minimum wage earners. However,\u00a0President Duterte has since ordered to study\u00a0the possible increase, therefore, hastening the decision from DOLE to\u00a0recommend\u00a0the\u00a0proposal to Congress.<\/p>\n

“It is not the authority of Department of Labor and Employment. It is Congress that can fix the national minimum wage,\u201d\u00a0Bello said in a report by Inquirer.<\/p>\n

House Bill No. 7787 or the National Minimum Wage Bill was passed\u00a0<\/span>on Monday, May 28 by Makabayan who also previously filed a petition to strike down TRAIN law.<\/p>\n
